The 17-year-old wrote, ” I was 16 when that happened and made a huge mistake. It was stupid and immature. I immediately realized this and apologized. And I will continue to work on myself as I navigate this world, growing up online. I recognize that I have a responsibility to set an example to those who follow and support me.”

The young YouTuber further revealed in his tweet that Sky Sports invited him to their famous comedic soccer-based talk show, Soccer AM. The Ohio-based YouTuber was looking forward to attending the show. But that didn’t happen as his relationship with the British sports channel went south.
